STORYLINE:
Debris from a plane fell onto a school in India-controlled Kashmir on Wednesday, shortly after India fired missiles into Pakistani-controlled territory.
Footage showed soldiers mobilized and responding to the incident.
This comes after India fired strikes into Pakistani-controlled territory in several locations early Wednesday, killing at least 26 people including a child, in what Pakistan’s leader called an act of war.
India said it struck infrastructure used by militants linked to last month’s massacre of tourists in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir.
Pakistan said it had shot down several Indian fighter jets in retaliation as three planes fell onto villages in India-controlled Kashmir. At least seven civilians were also killed in the region by Pakistani shelling, Indian police and medics said.
The aircraft debris was scattered across Wuyan village in the outskirts of the region’s main city, including in a school and a mosque compound, according to Srinagar police and residents.
Firefighters struggled for hours to douse the resulting fires.
Along the Line of Control, which divides the disputed region of Kashmir between India and Pakistan, there were heavy exchanges of fire.
Tensions have soared between the nuclear-armed neighbors since an attack in which gunmen killed 26 people, mostly Indian Hindu tourists, at a popular meadow in the disputed territory of Kashmir, in some cases killing men before their wives’ eyes.
India has blamed Pakistan for backing the attack, something Islamabad has denied.
